"They still aren't sure what is going to happen. All we know is that he has a long road of recovery ahead of him. It just ... it just isn't fair," he said, referring to the fact that Garrett's father died of a heart attack just six months before the accident.

When word got out about the Rogers family's grieving, the community stepped in, and in a big way, he said.

Nearly 300 people attended the late June fundraising event, and dozens of local businesses and prominent individuals donated big ticket items to be auctioned off, such as gift baskets and gift cards, a free game at Bayside Resort Golf, a limo gift package to Starboard restaurant worth nearly $1,000, a catered event at Jimmy’s Grille for 20 people, a "Tune Your Palate" dinner with Paul Cullen and more.

Davis organized the event with longtime friend and bartender Josh Huss, and they were both "blown away."

"You know, we didn't ask for any of this," he said. "We simply put the word out that we wanted to do something for the family and everyone just came together, offering wonderful, thoughtful items and donating whatever they could. This community really went above and beyond. And it's a beautiful thing."
